WRONG! First that is NOT a printer icon!
Second here are two examples of two different lock screens less than a minute apart.
The first one shows the larger lock screen numbers and the second one (shown as a minute apart; however, actually less than half a minute) shows an email icon. HOWEVER, that email was received a good four or five minutes before the first lock screen. Therefore, by your reasoning, both lock screens should have been small numbers with the mail icon.
Not saying if what you are saying is right or wrong,I don't know, just is if it is correct, then it is a bug.
As I stated in another thread I have had android phones since the first Droid came out and never have I had a OS update as buggy as this one.
I have had problem with bluetooth on two different devices, but not all devices,
"Can't update visual voicemail...." message
A few other ones.
I understand this crap can happen with any software update, but tired of reading this is a "stable" OS release. It is not for some of us.
I also understand that some of the things I have noted such as those stupid day/date in the upper left corner that cannot be removed, might be just a design that was added as well as those stupid large lock screen numbers, so I would not classify those as bugs but just someone's idea of a bad joke. If someone at google thought these fantastic so be it, but they should have given the user some leeway to change back or delete items.
I am not going to report any more bugs, in fact I may never report anymore damn things on this forum since it appears there are more people who assume android can do no harm than there are iphone zombies.
I can only hope that Samsung in their 4.0 release will fix these problems for their phones so that next year, I can dump the 4XL and get a S22 and remain with Android, or the other possibility is to make a big jump to the other smart phone company that all, for some reason, seem to hate. Or maybe, google will own up and read and discover there are problems and fix them.
I'm frigging done! Glad I still have a satellite phone to use if needed.
